“Some people are going to get this book and some people are… not going to get this book.” The author, the noted actor Sean Penn said about his first novel. “Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff,” is satire, so a sense of humor is required.

The main character, Bob Honey, is a baby boomer who’s both befuddled and angry at the current state of the world, particularly the current occupant of the White House. In the novel, the POTUS is referred to as the landlord. The character is a disguised version of Donald Trump. “The violently immature seventy-year-old boy-man with money and French vanilla cotton candy hair.” hardly brings to mind anyone else.

The protagonist of “Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff” is an assassin who kills the elderly with a mallet. He does this for a cartel of globalists who believe the senior generation stands in the way of progress. For most of the book though, he complains about the world surrounding him. Nothing is safe from his ire, including the #metoo movement, the crisis in Puerto Rico, and North Korea. He touches on the loss of humour in the current era of political correctness and reminisces about the war in Iraq. To say it’s an irreverent book is putting it mildly.

What makes “Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff” fascinating is its style, a throwback to the Beats, and other fantastic writers like Thomas Pynchon and Hunter S. Thompson. “Bob Honey,” is a trippy book. Often serving up serious truths disguised as bizarre humor, it’s easier to speak uncomfortable facts when they’re cloaked in comedic language. The bitter pill, taken with a swig of sugary kool-aid.

Sean Penn’s first novel is a not-so-subtle swipe at popular culture. It’s uncomfortable reading that will offend many people, but that was the point. The author realizes we live in uncomfortable times and has penned a story worthy of the current headlines fed us by cable news networks around the clock.

When it comes to bottled water, there are literally hundreds of brands to choose from. Though the exact number is arguable, just take a look at all of the brands that fill the stores’ shelves. Dasani, Poland Spring, Aquafina, Nestle Pure Life, Trump Ice, VEEN, Voss, Himalaya, Great Value and many more are the culprits. One of the purest bottled-water brands on the market today is known as Waiakea, and it comes from the Hawaiian islands. Waiakea, which means broad waters, has an abundance of minerals and sports a copious amount of electrolytes even though it displays a clear color.

Bottled water brings-in billions of dollars in which it is now one of the best-selling beverages in modern-day society. Out of all the different nationalities that makeup the earth’s demographics, the Italians are recognized as the biggest consumers of bottled-water. Can you imagine the amount of actual plastic bottles that are thrown away? Unfortunately, most people don’t recycle and this lack of effort is causing problems with the environment. Last year, there was an estimated 50 billion plastic bottles that were purchased on a worldwide scale, but only 23 percent of the plastic bottles were recycled. Yes, there is surely a huge problem with the leftover bottles as they are laying around on the earth’s surface. It was estimated that 8 million tons of plastic is dumped in the earth’s oceans every single year. Most of the plastic in our oceans come from the countries of Thailand, Vietnam and China.

Waiakea has taken drastic steps in cleaning-up the nonsense by being the first company to develop degradable water bottles. These bottles will fully degrade in about 15 years. If you didn’t know, it’s estimated that it takes a 1,000 years for a plastic bottle to degrade. Waiakia’s water is purer than most of its competitors, and its plastic bottles are far more progressive than 99.9 percent of the field. In the end, Waiakea is doing its part to better mankind, and it’s doing its part to better the environment.

Paul Mampilly wrote an article for Banyan Hill that talked about cryptocurrency and how it could be beneficial to the future of currencies and their decentralized use. He likes what cryptocurrency has to offer, but he says for now that he’s going to stay away from Bitcoin. The reason he’s not going with Bitcoin is because its market value went high, but it became too high that now a bubble has formed. It’s the same kind of bubble that the tech industry faced in 2000 and the real estate market in 2008. While Bitcoin will need some time to come down in price, Mampilly did say another digital currency investment is out there, and he shares what that is with his newsletter subscribers. Visit Bloomberg to know more about Paul Mampilly.

Paul Mampilly primarily writes newsletters today for Banyan Hill because he can give people advice on buying stocks without having to go through the typical Wall Street propaganda machines. He himself worked on Wall Street for more than 20 years but never truly became a part of it. Mampilly did earn the respect of the managers at ING, Banker’s Trust and Deutsche Bank for making investment choices that brought solid gains to investor funds. He grew investor accounts even more when he became a portfolio director at Kinetics International Fund, and the firm was mentioned in Barron’s magazine for growing its total AUM from $6 billion to $25 billion. Mampilly also won an investment competition in 2009 for buying stocks without shorting them that ended up growing $50 million in startup funds to $50 million.

Paul Mampilly left his successful life because he was spending too much time in the office and not enough with his family. He had also bought his own stocks and made profits buying in Facebook, Netflix, Nikon and eventually Sarepta Therapeutics which paid huge dividends in a short period. Mampilly knew if he provided the right information that anyone could learn how to invest like he did, and Banyan Hill was his choice because their articles were reputable and didn’t cost too much. Paul Mampilly decided to write newsletters with videos that gave his audience a front seat view of his portfolio, and his primary newsletter “Profits Unlimited” picked up 60,000 subscribers in less than a month. Paul Mampilly had many skeptics when he first started writing, but subscribers reviewed his advice and reported some gains in their portfolios as high as 300℅. View Paul’s profile on Linkedin.

During Winter 2018’s middle, Shervin Pishevar blew onto Twitter with a noteworthy tweet storm. Pishevar, a longtime venture investor, was prompted by a Dow Jones Industrial Average downtown. On February 5, the Dow experienced its largest-ever one-day point drop.

More Losses

His first tweet of 50 was ominous. “Some thoughts on financial storms I seeing brewing ahead,” he wrote. “I expect (sic) 6000 (sic) point drop in aggregate in (sic) months ahead. Here’s why.”

Next, Shervin Pishevar criticized multiple aspects of America’s investment landscape. “Scurry and scrabble (sic) for safety that is no (sic) where to be found. Every asset class is (sic) has proven to be overvalued.”

The early investor in Uber, PillPack and Airbnb belittled managed-future funds, exchange-traded funds, volatility indices and risk-taking loopholes like those that preceded 2008’s recession.

Silicon Valley Transcends Geography

Additionally, Pishevar reiterated a position he has shared multiple times in the tech-related news media since 2009. “As I’ve said before,” wrote Pishevar, “Silicon Valley is it (sic) longer a physical place but an idea that’s gone viral. Entrepreneurship is a movement.”

Immigration and Infrastructure Woes

Born in Iran, Shervin Pishevar exemplifies the American Dream. Thus, he dislikes Trump-era immigration policy. “But while we build walls (sic) physical and culture (sic) to keep out immigrant talent,” he wrote, “that talent doesn’t need to come here anymore.”

Further, Pishevar shared a link to a news story that covered a construction feat in China. In one night, a team of 1,500 workers built a large train station. “Meanwhile,” noted Pishevar, “our infrastructure is in tatters, decrypt (sic) and decaying. Our government and companies are are (sic) trapped in short (sic) term thinking.”

Modern Ma Bells

The noted investor also criticized the massive power that Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook wield in America’s tech marketplace. “We’ll have 5 (sic) robber barons destroying one start (sic) up after another,” he forecast.

What comes to mind when hear the word anti-aging? Perhaps, the fountain of youth, or the immortal cup, maybe even the philosopher’s stone? Well, we all know that these things are better left in fiction, but anti-aging doesn’t have to be. Nor does the benefits that come with it, like a fuller and healthier lives for all, and not just a few. You know what else would be fascinating to experience in our lifetime? Being connected to our world like never before. It would be like having superpowers only the devices around us would help us transform in this way.

Believe it or not, this is far from fiction, and in fact, people like Jason Hope are investing time and resources into making it all a reality.

After graduating from Arizona State University, having studies finance and business administration, hope didn’t set out to start a company of his own. Instead, his goal was and still is, to find organizations and people with these visions. He has invested more than half a million dollars into an organization called the SENS Foundation, which aims to cure the disease that is aging. By targeting the illnesses that force us to age faster than we should.

If they are to succeed, Jason Hope’s vision of promoting longer and healthier lives for humankind will finally see the light of day. Stories of finding the one secret to longer loves we haven’t yet cracked will no longer be the thing found exclusively in fiction.

This advancement is the beginning of evolution humankind has not seen before. The internet of things will grant us those superpowers mentioned earlier. We will have access to data never before conceived because of mind like Jason Hope. The vision he sees for humanity as a self-proclaimed futurist. His investments in people and organizations alike will see to it that we all benefit. We’ll know our plans need to be maintenanced long before they land, o that we need to pick up another gallon of milk as we drive home from work. Internet of things will make us far more connected than we are now, much like magic or powers.

Necessity is the mother of invention and that is the motto of Dr. Saad Saad. He has followed this motto throughout his entire medical career. He has made his name by creating two of the most influential surgical inventions in recent years. He has made the process of surgery safer for patients and easier for doctors. The doctors that use his tools, and there are many, have all said they are very useful. Surgery would not be the same without Dr. Saad Saad. His inventions have made the process of scanning a patient’s body faster and less invasive. He has also made the use of an endoscope much more efficient. Doctors can get their jobs done in half the time. Learn more: https://about.me/ssaad/getstarted

The addition to the endoscope is perhaps the most ingenious invention by Dr. Saad Saad. He has attached a suction-irrigation tube to the endoscope so doctors can remove excess fluid from the body. Patients will sometimes have a buildup of fluid, because there is a lot of fluid present in the human body. This fluid will clog the camera on the endoscope and make it so that doctors cannot see what is going on. They will remove the endoscope and insert a suction tube to remove the fluid, then they have to replace the endoscope all over again. This is a repetitive process. By attaching the suction-irrigation tube to the endoscope, Dr. Saad Saad has made it so that doctors can view the fluid, suction it away, and find the problem the patient is experiencing, all without removing the endoscope. If the fluid is blocking a lot of the view, then the irrigation canal comes in handy. It can be used to flush away the extra fluid and then can be suctioned back out.

The catheter is another medical device Dr. Saad saad has made a modification to. Doctors usually have to locate the position of the catheter by using radiation from an X-ray or a massive MRI. The radiation is dangerous, and the MRI is so large that it cannot be moved. Dr. Saad Saad created a catheter that has a magnetic attachment on the tip. The electromagnetic waves can be detected by a small device that can be swept over that patient’s body. It’s as easy as using a metal detector on the beach! These inventions have changed the face of pediatric surgery. Dr. Saad Saad is an expert doctor with over 40 years of practice, and it shows.
